Not your average sine wave thread!

Having a convosation with some work members who are developing a graph based on another members lateness.
The shape that has started to form over the last 30 days, is that similar to a sine wave.
What we're trying to rack are heads around a process of conversion.

Is it possible to convert the graph (and it's details x/y ect) into sound?

If anyone can help, then please do!

Graph it and then find a synth that uses custom wave shapes?

so absynth 5 seems to be able to create custom waves.
does anyone use absynth 5?

because i have noticed that there is an option of save custom wave template, if so what is the file format for this custom wave?

i think im trying to look to deep into this, but it's a nice mysterie for oneself.

Aphex Twin turned a picture of his face into sound in one of his tunes (forget which). He used metasynth. I think it's only for mac though?

Yes it is possible to transform an image into sound http://photosounder.com/.

You can also do this using the gem objects in pure data.
